WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA: The Hyatt

I'd driven past the Hyatt in Westlake Village for years, whenever I visited my sister who lives in the area, but stayed there for the first time during our current trip. It was a delight.
Before booking at the Hyatt, I compared rates with several other nearby hotels including a nearby Radisson and Residence Inn (we'd stayed at both before), at least two Hampton Inns, and the Four Seasons. The Hyatt had a better rate than any.

We reserved a king room and were very pleased.

The hotel has ample meeting space and the open areas are more like a resort or conference center than a basic hotel, meaning slightly longer walks to the room. But given how pleasant and inviting the open spaces are, that's hardly a negative.

Our room -- a standard king -- was very nice. It was spacious enough to accommodate a couch, desk with work area, and provide plenty of space generally. The room has all the amenities today's travelers expect: Internet access, a flat-screen TV, in-room iron and board, and other standard offerings.

The service was also excellent, from check-in abd bell service to housekeeping to the bartender/server in the on-site sports bar Knuckles, where we enjoyed nibbles and a nightcap. There is also a restaurant on the premises, but the hotel is also convenient to a number of local establishments including some within easy walking distance and many more just a short drive away.

Valet parking is available for a fee, but self-parking is available at no charge.

I highly recommend the Hyatt at Westlake Village. Next time we return to the area, we will absolutely return!

Experienced travelers know the benefits that come from traveling Business or First Class, particularly on long flights. More space to work or stretch out, better food and better treatment are but a few of the advantages. But passengers who travel in those upmarket cabins aboard U.A.E.-based Emirates enjoy some additional perks including complimentary chauffeur-driven transportation at both ends of their flight.

Perhaps you've had the experience of going to a restaurant you've heard about - maybe for years - only to find out its glory days are long gone and it's living on its reputation. That is decidedly not the case with Canlis.
